1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: All right, the tip to fit.

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 2: It is Monday, April fourteenth, and it was Game one

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 2: between the Yankees and the Royals as they kick off

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 2: a three game series in the Bronx. Good night for

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: Carlos Carrasco and the Yankees were putting balls in the seats.

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: My recap, your reactions coming up next. This his pinstrip territory.

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 3: Just wanted to talk catch old.

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. Nice to start

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: the series off with a victory. Let's get a tip

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: of the victory hat there. It'll get lost in the

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: home runs, I'm sure, because home runs are pretty much

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: the most exciting part of baseball. But I got to

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: start off with hell of a job by Cookie Carrasco tonight.

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: Last time out was no fun in Detroit, but he

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: certainly bounced back tonight and was just mixing his pitches really,

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: really well. Had the Royals off balance all night. Royals

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: just got two hits tonight, one off of Carrasco and

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: one off of Devin Williams, who again made things interesting,

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: but got it done. Yankees offense helped the pitching out

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: home run derby again four solo home runs. They remain

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: on pace to break the all time home run record

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: for a team. I know it's early, but we'll talk

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 2: about that dinger number six from Jazz Chisholm. Three home

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: runs in the fifth inning and absolutely majestic blast from

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: Trent Grisham. Another home run from Ben Rice, who is

26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: blistering hot, still hitting three hundred with an ops over

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: one thousand, and Austin Wells hit a scorcher inside the

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: foul pole. He's had a couple of home runs knocked down.

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: It was good to see him beat the wind with

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: a line drive. But before we get to all of that,

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: congratulations to Aaron Judge on being named Captain America, the

32
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: captain of the World Baseball Classic in twenty twenty six. Look.

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: I love the World Baseball Classic. I watch it every

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: year and I'm on the edge of my seat every

35
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 2: time they have it. But I'm kind of scarred for life.

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: I gotta admit. When Mark Toshera got injured while preparing

37
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: for the twenty thirteen tournament, he tore a tendon sheath,

38
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: I don't think he was ever the same after that.

39
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he had some okay numbers after that, but

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: I felt like he lost some bat speed. He lost

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: some explosiveness with his hands after that, and I think

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: he only played in about fifteen games that year and

43
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: they were miserable. So as long as Aaron Judge comes

44
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: back in one piece, I think will be okay. Laurie

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: C says, please like and subscribe, and I have to

46
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: wholeheartedly agree. Let's get to the recap, all right, let's go,

47
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: let's get it going. Got a comment from Juan Soto

48
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: in the chest says Derek, I missed the Yankees getting

49
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: me off of this garbage team. However, the Mets do

50
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: have a better record than the Yankees so far this year,

51
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: although last I checked, Wan Soda wasn't having a great

52
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: start and he was in about, you know, two seventy

53
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: or something like that with one home run. Anyway, a

54
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: couple of walks from Carrasco in the first inning, and

55
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: I was thinking, oh, here we go again. And Boone

56
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: is on the record as saying, look, we're walking too

57
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: many guys, and I have to concur but it's not

58
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: entirely unexpected from my perspective. Guys like Carrasco and Stroman,

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: I expect to walk guys at this point in their

60
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: careers because they don't throw hard enough to really challenge

61
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: guys in the zone anymore. They have to get swings

62
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: and misses, or they have to get weak contact, and

63
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: you do that around the perimeters of the strike zone.

64
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: So I expect them to nibble a little bit.

65
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: You know.

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: Rodan walks people because he just can't help it. And

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: Warren is a kid right the bullpen also been walking

68
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: too many guys.

69
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 4: You know.

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: Fernando Cruz, he was great tonight, but he he typically

71
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: loses command. Devin Williams again, he's been wild out of

72
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: the pen, and last year even when he was so good,

73
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: he had some wildness in him. You can walk people

74
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: or you can give up hits. You can't do both.

75
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: That's what John Sterling used to always say, and I

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: think that's accurate. A hustle single for Paul Goldschmidt in

77
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: the second inning. Dude is just a gamer day in

78
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: and day out. He had another couple of hits today,

79
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: two for four. Bobby Witt Junior went deep in the

80
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 2: third inning to put the Royals on top, hanging slider

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: a cookie from cookie, but the Yankees bounced right back.

82
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: They did get bass hits in the third inning from

83
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: Cabrera and judge, but they were sandwiched around a double

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: play and then Austin Wells hit went to the warning

85
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: track that got knocked down, you know by the win,

86
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: second time that's happened to him in about a week.

87
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: Gravity outstanding night on defense for the Martian. He had

88
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: a great play in the fourth inning. Salvador Perez scorched

89
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: one to left field and it was kind of like

90
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: a sinking line drive that was headed over his head

91
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: and Jason jumped up and snagged it, took a great route.

92
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 2: He made a few nice plays out there tonight. He

93
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: had a rangy play where he was coming into his

94
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: right on a ball. I don't know if it ended

95
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: up being in foul territory or fair territory, but he

96
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: had to really move to get it. And then there

97
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: was one hit way over his head to his left

98
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: that he had to run back and get and he

99
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: had to take a great route to catch it and

100
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: he did so. Still or defense from the Martians, his

101
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: defense really does look better than I've seen it at

102
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 2: any time since he's been called up. I've seen a

103
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: lot of people mention it already in the comments that

104
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: he looks good out there. I just want everyone to

105
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: remember this on a night when he doesn't have such

106
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 2: a good night, right. I mean, we tend to be

107
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: pretty reactionary as fans, but perspective comes with experience of

108
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: watching baseball, and you will see guys have good nights

109
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: and bad nights. I think it's been really important for

110
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: him to get off to a great start, and he's

111
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: done a fantastic job on defense, even more so than offense. Honestly,

112
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: you know, he's hitting well from the left side. He

113
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: was over to tonight, but he's hitting two twenty nine.

114
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: He's I believe, one for twenty from the right side.

115
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: They pinch hit for him with Bellinger in the ninth

116
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: or eighth inning against the lefty. So still not entirely

117
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: trusting him against lefties, but very solid first two weeks

118
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: of the season as he begins what I believe could

119
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: be a Rookie of the Year contention campaign. We haven't

120
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: seen him get going with the bat yet. He hasn't

121
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: gotten hot, but it's coming, believe me. Bottom four Jazz

122
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: Chisholm doing some yard work. You like Jazz, You're like Jazz.

123
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: Home run into the right field bullpen to tie the

124
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 2: game at one big home run for Jazz Chisholm home

125
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 2: run number six on the season. Hopefully, now that the weather,

126
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: the worst of the weather has gotten out of the way,

127
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: hopefully he'll get comfortable again. He strikes me as somebody

128
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: that just does not like to play in the cold.

129
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: And he's also a guy that you could tell is

130
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: he's very confident. But a lot of times the most

131
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: confident people, like the most outgoing confident people, if things

132
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: go bad for a little bit, they can go the inverse.

133
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: They can get really down on themselves and get into

134
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: a long slump. I'm glad that he's been able to

135
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: turn it around because his body language feels more like

136
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: the Jazz were used to. He's playing with more confidence.

137
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: He tried to drag bunt later in the game after

138
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: already hitting a home run, so obviously feeling a little

139
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: bit better after a couple of home runs over the

140
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: past few days. And then Trent Grisham Pomps went deep,

141
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: no doubter into the right field seats. Very few stadiums

142
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: frame home runs to right field the way that Yankee

143
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: Stadium does, and that was a beauty and the Yankees

144
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: were not done. Home run number five for Ben Rice,

145
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: inside cutter off the plate at ninety miles an hour,

146
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: but he pulled his hands in and he got the

147
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: barrel to it. And when you swing as hard as

148
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: he does and make contact, I mean you're gonna find

149
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: some home runs at the right field ports at the

150
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium. He got under that baseball. A lot of

151
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: ballparks that might not go out necessarily. I don't know

152
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: what the distance was, but I can look it up

153
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: real quick. It looks like it went three hundred and

154
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: eighty one feet, so I'm sure that wouldn't be out everywhere,

155
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: but at Yankee Stadium it will do the job. He

156
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: is off to an incredible start. It is gonna be very,

157
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: very interesting to see what happens when John Carlos Stanton returns,

158
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: because Ben Rice is right now looking like a thirty

159
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: five home run guy. He is every bit as productive

160
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: right now as John Carlos Stanton as we could have

161
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: hoped for, honestly, and then later in the inning, Austin

162
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: Wells getting in on the action with the mustache ride.

163
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: What's run home run for Austin Wells. Third home run

164
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: of the season. But I'm getting a little bit sidetracked

165
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: here by how many home runs the Yankees are hitting.

166
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: I forgot to mention that there was a prediction this

167
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: morning and it was an extra base hit from Ben Rice.

168
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: Now.

169
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: I didn't commit to a home run, but I said

170
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: he would get an extra base hit. And you know what,

171
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: no stra Derek Now hitting five hundred on the season.

172
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: That is destiny fulfilled.

173
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: So all in all, a really good night for the Yankees.

174
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: Fernando Cruz pitched well one in the third innings, three strikeouts,

175
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: no runs, no walks. Tim Hill did what Tim Hill does,

176
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: and then Luke Weaver did what he does, big booming

177
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: double into the left field corner for Paul Goldschmid in

178
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: the eight Now hitting three sixty seven with a nine

179
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: oh nine OPS five doubles on the season, and Devin

180
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: Williams closed it out and the Yankees take game one

181
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: game over. Yank Gregory Wayne says, do you expect Big

182
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: G back in the lineup soon before the All Star Break?

183
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 5: I do.

184
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say soon, I would say Memorial Day. I

185
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: mean that's originally what they said, like best case scenario,

186
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: and the fact that he's already hitting off of the

187
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: traject machine suggests that you know, he's he's feeling okay.

188
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 2: Now he's still got to do other things. He's still

189
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: got to run the bases. He's got a CAF issue

190
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: that he's dealing with. So I'm not counting on John

191
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: Carlow in April at any point, maybe mid to late May.

192
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm guessing around Memorial Day. And here's the funny part

193
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: about John Carlow. We people who've been watching this channel

194
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: for years know this. When John Carlo comes off of

195
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 2: the IL, a lot of times, he doesn't go on

196
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: one of those rehab stints that most players do because

197
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: he just hits. He doesn't need to play the outfield

198
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: or anything like that. He can get his work in

199
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 2: off the traject machine, or at least he feels he can,

200
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: and off of live BP, so he doesn't feel the

201
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: need for a minor league rehab assignment. But he always

202
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: slumps when he first comes back. I mean usually it's

203
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: between a week and a month. He'll hit one seventy,

204
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: he'll hit a couple of home runs and you'll think

205
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 2: he's coming out of it, But then he'll have a

206
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: couple of the bats where he swings wildly at sliders

207
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: in the dirt, and then usually the hot streak comes

208
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: and he'll hit eight home runs in fifteen games or

209
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: something like that, and you just hope that when he's back,

210
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: the hot streak aligns with what you need right with,

211
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: you know, a time when you need an injection of

212
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: power into the lineup, and you hope he's healthy for

213
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: the playoffs. We got to give out the belt tonight,

214
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: and we'll spotlight this guy in a second. Obviously a

215
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: lot of solo home runs tonight, all good candidates, but

216
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 2: I thought the man of the hour was Cookie Carrasco.

217
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 2: First belt for Cookie. Raymond Bellin says, I feel we

218
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: don't really need Stanton. Well, we got him under contract,

219
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: so they're not gonna get rid of him. Vout n

220
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 2: Why says Stanton doesn't run the bases. He jogs, walks

221
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: the bases. He can't run for nothing. But nice job

222
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: by Cookie Carrasco tonight. Let's go ahead and talk a

223
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: little bit about him, because I feel like his start

224
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: is going to get lost in the offense. Five innings

225
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: of one hit, one run, baseball, two walks, four strikeouts,

226
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: ten whiffs. He threw seventy nine pitches, forty nine of

227
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: them were for strikes. His season era is still five

228
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: point nine to four. Obviously, he's had some rough outings,

229
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: and at this point in his career you hope that

230
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: on any given outing he pitches like he did tonight.

231
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: For the most part, he kept the ball out of

232
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: the middle of the plate. His split finger was dropping

233
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: off the table. He was able to spot the sinker.

234
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: He was able to throw the slider for strikes early

235
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: in the count, and that gets a hitter thinking it

236
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: gets him off balance. Tonight, he didn't just throw the

237
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: kitchen sink at the Royals. He emptied out the dishwasher,

238
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: you know, he emptied out the cabinets, he emptied out

239
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: half the fridge. He threw the whole kitchen up there,

240
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: salt shaker, spatula, cheese greater too. Hell of a job

241
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: by Cookie Carrasco. All right, Kevin Davis with an interesting point.

242
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: He says confidence hit by taking Domingez out after the

243
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: way he played defense tonight. I don't think it was

244
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: about his defense. I think it was about facing the

245
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: left handed pitcher. It wasn't a move on, you know,

246
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: to pack him on defense, although they might have taken

247
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: him out anyway. You know, obviously Bellinger's a better defender,

248
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: so it makes sense to go into run prevention mode.

249
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 2: But I think the opposite. I think he gets out

250
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: of the game feeling good about his defense. Nothing went wrong,

251
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: he played well, he got some nice hands from the crowd.

252
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: I think he had a good night, and I think

253
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: he feels good about it. Let's talk a little bit

254
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: about the home run chase. Obviously, four more home runs

255
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: tonight you see there on your screen. The team record

256
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: is three hundred and seven by the twenty nineteen Twins

257
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: and the twenty twenty three Braves. Yankees hit three oh

258
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: six and twenty nineteen. Their pace right now is easy

259
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: to figure out because they have thirty two home runs

260
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: in sixteen games, so they're averaging two per game. They

261
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: are on pace for three hundred and twenty four home runs,

262
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: and they're gonna have some games where they hit five

263
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: six home runs. That's just the way it goes. And

264
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: when summer rolls around in the ball is really traveling,

265
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: I expect them to get even hotter. And right now

266
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge has gone into a little bit of a

267
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: home run you don't want to say a slump because

268
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: he's still having two hit games. He had two hits tonight.

269
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: He's hitting three sixty seven. His OPS is over twelve hundred.

270
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: But he hasn't been hitting home runs in a while.

271
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: You know, Jazz Chishom has now tied him for home runs.

272
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: So it won't be long before he gets going on

273
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: one of those streaks. But we got to have somebody

274
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: protect him. Excuse me, Belchian over here. Let's talk a

275
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: little bit about the minor league hitters. We talked about

276
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: pitchers the other day, so I wanted to kind of

277
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: zoom in on some of our top offensive or position

278
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: player prospects. So Spencer Jones. The numbers initially look good.

279
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: You look at the nine for thirty one, that's two ninety.

280
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: He's got three home runs, he's got seven RBIs. But

281
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: then you see fourteen strikeouts in thirty one at bats,

282
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: so almost a fifty percent strikeout percentage, which is exactly

283
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: what you don't want. Guys don't traditionally strike out less

284
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: as they move up the ladder, so that's something the

285
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: Yankees want him to conquer. I did see him hit

286
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: a monster home run either yesterday or the day before.

287
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: I was watching the highlights, and he hit one basically

288
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: at a center field that was demolished. But he's gonna

289
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: do that because he's a massive, massive, strong human being.

290
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: Got to figure out a way to strike out less.

291
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: Maybe he needs to work with teacher Man. Teacher Man

292
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: also works with Kerry Carpenter and Aaron Judge, and I

293
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: believe Kyron Paris said he's working with him too. Who

294
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: is a He's on fire. He's turned himself into a

295
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: great hitter for the Angels. Roderick Aarris off to a

296
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: slow start five to thirty four, one forty seven. George

297
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: Lombard Junior in High A eight for twenty eight, that's

298
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: two eighty six. I think he's somebody that could move quickly.

299
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: I think we could see George Lombard Junior in Triple

300
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: A by the end of the year. I really do.

301
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: He's gonna be twenty years old. The Yankees are not

302
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: afraid to promote twenty year olds. They've done it before.

303
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: He's advanced by every metric. He's just got to produce

304
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: at these lower levels. He's starting off in High A.

305
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: If Memorial Day or so rolls around and he's you know,

306
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: hitting two ninety with a few home runs and playing

307
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: good defense. He's gonna be in Double A, right and

308
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: he's going to spend probably most of the season in

309
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: Double A, and then you call him up to Triple

310
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: A for the final couple of weeks, just like they

311
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: did with Anthony Volpi. And I'd expect him to play

312
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: a few weeks at Triple A before the end of

313
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 2: the year, and then next year he's going to be

314
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: in contention to take over at third base. Now I

315
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: don't know if he's going to do it, but he's

316
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: going to be a consideration. And considering how well he

317
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 2: played the spring, and you know, the start he's off

318
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: to looking good, I wouldn't count him out. And then

319
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: ever since Pereira, guy who kind of gets lost in

320
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: the prospect, you know, spotlight here and there. Ten for forty,

321
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: hitting two fifty so far, one home run and six

322
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 2: RBIs all right. Quick word from our sponsor, which is Harry's,

323
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: and then back with a few voicemails and your reactions

324
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 2: to a big Yankees win. In sports, the difference between

325
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: winning and losing is often razor thin, and it's great

326
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: to have an edge, and that's what you get with

327
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: Harry's Razors, the sponsor for today's episode. You might notice

328
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 2: my beard is gone. I did that because I wanted

329
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: to test out this razor that they sent me. I

330
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: don't like to pitch things unless I try them myself.

331
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: And I gotta say I am very impressed with Harry's razors.

332
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: It comes with five blades. These are German engineer there

333
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: extremely extremely sharp. I shaved two days ago and my

334
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 2: face still feels very smooth. I got the trial set.

335
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed the weighted handle. It gives me like

336
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: a nice feeling of control over the razor. I don't

337
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: have to worry about cutting myself. Their trial set is

338
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 2: thirteen dollars, but using our exclusive link and code, you

339
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,520

00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: com slash stripe. All right, and we got a visit

343
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: from a cat. Now, you guys have been saying I

344
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 2: need to make an appearance for my cat up and

345
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: he ran away. Sorry. I tried my best, but he

346
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: got away. All right, here's a call about Anthony vopee.

347
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 6: I believe Hey Derek, it's a New York gamer here. Listen,

348
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 6: this is gonna be a very unpopular opinion. Possibly not.

349
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 6: I'm so sick of Anthony Volpi. Dude got the shortstop

350
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 6: job like it was make a wish, except we're the

351
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 6: ones who are dying. Anyway, Listen, I had an idea.

352
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 6: I was wondering, if you can call me crazy or not,

353
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 6: but if this could be a possible trade that the

354
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 6: Reds would ever entertain, like hear me out Anthony Volty,

355
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 6: Chase Hampton, Everson, Perreira, Oswald, Parazza, roder Garius. I don't

356
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 6: know we can we can move him around for Ellie

357
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 6: Della Cruz. Call me crazy, they don't smoke cracks, but honestly,

358
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 6: maybe swing up that pot. But what would you feel

359
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 6: about Ellie Dela Cruz at the shortstop instead of our

360
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 6: me and man Voltey Because honestly, man, I just can't.

361
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 6: I can't watch him. Anthony volte is a kind of

362
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 6: player who makes you nostalgic for ikf But that's.

363
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 2: Thinking oof rough. He's a better player than ikf Ever

364
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 2: was on defense. I'll say this, I don't want him

365
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: to be the home run hitting machine that he's trying

366
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: to be. I want him to be the guy that

367
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: we saw off with the first few months last year,

368
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 2: that was an on base machine. Now, as far as

369
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: trading for Ellie Da La Cruz, I'm not gonna tell

370
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: you to smoke crack, but no, it's not gonna happen, Josh.

371
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 4: The upside, the.

372
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 2: Red's probably gonna lock him up. I would imagine they're

373
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: gonna try and lock him up. He's their franchise player.

374
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 2: He's unbelievable. He's only getting better. And do you know

375
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: that Scott Brown would have an aneurysm if he went

376
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: to the Yankees because he loves Ellie as a Red

377
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: and I don't think he wants to see him go

378
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: to the Yankees. So I don't think it's gonna happen.

379
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: E Bronson says, crack kills. Here's another call.

380
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 6: Here, Hey Derek, what's going on?

381
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: Man?

382
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: It's Tristan from Brooklyn, New York.

383
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 3: First off, I just want to stay a big fan

384
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: of the show, big.

385
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: Yankee fanciate, and I really really do appreciate your perspective

386
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: on things. I'm a recent addition to your fan base

387
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: and I really do have to kind of stress how

388
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: much I appreciate your composed, even keeled and you know, warm,

389
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: just opinion on things, and just the way that you

390
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: try to attack everything going on in the Yankee world.

391
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of the new hot thing in

392
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: media and podcast and everything. Well it was It's always

393
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: been a thing in sports to just bash whatever team

394
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about. And me, as as a Yankee fan,

395
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to put myself above anybody, but I

396
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: just like the way I like to look at this

397
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: sport that I that I love seeing, you know, consume

398
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: so much. When things are going bad or good, I

399
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: like to just view it in the most positive, optimistic

400
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: way possible without being delusionally you know, if I can

401
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: also accomplish that, And I think even if the Yankees

402
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: have a terrible day, I think you always have an

403
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: ability to just come at it with you know, a.

404
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 5: Very all right.

405
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: So I just look at the clock and it goes

406
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: for another two and a half minutes. I don't want

407
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: to disrespect this guy. I appreciate the call, and I

408
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: appreciate you know, the kind words. But let's let's when

409
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: we put these calls together for the benefit of the audience.

410
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: Let's compliment me less, and let's talk about the Yankees more.

411
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: Let's you know, let's get right to it. Let's talk

412
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: about referee says Boston sucks by the way down sixteen

413
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: to one to Tampa. I tell you what, Garrett Crochet

414
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 2: looked damn good the other night. Damn good. But they

415
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: are struggling out of the gate. Randy Kochwave says, Guys

416
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: Deavin Williams ERA in March and April three point eight

417
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: six after that two point five to one in May,

418
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: June one point sixty five, July zero point eight seven,

419
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 2: August one point five to five and September October one

420
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 2: point eight nine. That means career one point six eight

421
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: ERA after April. Great call, I was I still had

422
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: the numbers animation that we used last year. Shouldn't have

423
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: got rid of that one. Steve Benovito says, thoughts on

424
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: trading for another high end starter, Well, right now we've

425
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: talked about this, nobody's dealing. I think Sandy Alcntra would

426
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: probably be the guy. Is it all Kantara or all Contra?

427
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: I've heard it pronounced both ways, and its spelled al Kantara,

428
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: but I think it's Alcontra. So I don't want to

429
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: get it wrong, but I don't. I haven't seen him

430
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: enough to really hear how they they pronounce it. But

431
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 2: he is, uh, he's off to a little bit of

432
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 2: a slow start. Let me just go ahead and pull

433
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: up his numbers for you. But he's the guy that

434
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 2: I've had my eyes on based on just like the

435
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: metrics and where he is in terms of a team

436
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: that is likely to sell. Let's go ahead and share

437
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: the screen here. So he's two and zero with a

438
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: four point seven zero ERA. But he's he's a good pitcher.

439
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 2: He's got a good sinker ninety six point eight miles

440
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: an hour, and you see he's in the ninety third

441
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 2: percentile of the ground ball rate in Major League Baseball,

442
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: the fastball velocities at ninety seven, so you know he

443
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 2: came back from Tommy John surgery. He's still in his twenties,

444
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: twenty nine years old. Breaking ball run value is excellent.

445
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: But everybody's gonna want this guy, everybody. And if I

446
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: were the Marlins, I wouldn't be in a rush to

447
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: move him, because as you get closer to the trade deadline,

448
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: you know you're gonna be able to get more for him.

449
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 2: And I don't think that he's gonna be one of

450
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 2: these guys that gets re hurt because you know, he

451
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: just came back, he's he seems to be healthy. Now

452
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: they're gonna want to move him, you know, before anything happens.

453
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: So I think he will get moved this year. But

454
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: the question is who's gonna And yet the prospects. The

455
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 2: Yankees don't have the strongest system in terms of how

456
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: other teams view their prospects. The Orioles probably have enough

457
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: to get them. The Red Sox certainly have enough to

458
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: get them. I would expect if either of those teams

459
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: to be, you know, in the race in July, I

460
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: would expect them to have the advantage if they were

461
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: willing to go out and make that move.

462
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 6: Derek, it's Spike from New Jersey. That call was outrageous.

463
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: Allen from Fort Lauderdale. I'm glad you played it on

464
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 3: the show because you know what, I took personal offense

465
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 3: to that, because you're my favorite Yankees podcaster on all YouTube,

466
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 3: and that guy clearly has no idea what he's talking about.

467
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 3: He's sitting in his cup chair somewhere in Fort Lauderdale,

468
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 3: siper full of common poop, and he has nothing better

469
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: to do but call in and go, you're a terrible

470
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 3: s guy. You know nothing well to quote a sprintra

471
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 3: he's a hey.

472
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: Who they are appreciate it. I appreciate the call, guys

473
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 2: coming to my defense. Yeah, we get trolls now and

474
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 2: then I put one up every now and then. It

475
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: seemed very unprovoked. You know, I've been, uh, I've been

476
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: working my tale off for you guys, and it just

477
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 2: seemed very unprovoked. And you know, if somebody says that

478
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 2: you're wrong in terms of like, you know, he basically

479
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: said that, you know, I think I'm a great coach

480
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: or whatever. I'm just telling you what I know. And

481
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: he didn't rebut anything that I said, like if if

482
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: I was wrong about something mechanical that somebody's doing wrong,

483
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: tell me. You know, this spawned, I think from when

484
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: Jason Dominguez tried to pick the ball up with his

485
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: glove on the warning track, and I was just trying

486
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: to explain why you don't do that right when you

487
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: get to the warning track, or you know, if there's

488
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: a slow roller in front of the Mount. I was

489
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: always taught, and I've always taught others. If you get there,

490
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: the most efficient way to pick up the baseball to

491
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 2: push down on it. Right, You push down on it.

492
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: That allows you to stop the spin to get a grip.

493
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: He seems to have taken offense to this whatever, but

494
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not going to spend any more time

495
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 2: thinking about it, but it just seemed very unprovoked, and

496
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: so I wanted to play it. Shit.

497
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 5: Hey, Derek, this is Jordan's and Orlando, a longtime listener,

498
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 5: first time caller. Just watch Ben Rice his fifth home run.

499
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 5: I find it so impressive that they keep that. Last

500
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 5: season he was struggling inside pitches, things that were jamming him,

501
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 5: and he's made the adjustment. He's now professional header.

502
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 4: Very impressive.

503
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 5: I'm loving it, but just wanted to call. Appreciate the show, you, dear.

504
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 5: Also screw that Jerry Astrics.

505
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 4: I called you the other day.

506
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 5: Guys, nobody's talking about little loser. But thanks again.

507
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Appreciate you. Ben Rice looking great. Rice Rice, Baby,

508
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: I'm telling you thirty home runs if he keeps, you know,

509
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 2: getting at bats right now, he's locked in and his

510
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 2: bat speed is incredible. You gotta hope he stays healthy.

511
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: A lot of times guys get off to great starts,

512
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: but you know, if there's their first full season in

513
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: the major leagues, he can kind of wear down. Maybe

514
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: pull of hamming here and there. Maybe being dh will

515
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: help with that. Stay fresh. But we need that bat

516
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: in the lineup, need that lat We need that bat.

517
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 4: Excuse me, hey, Derek, Johnny Baggs in New York, Johnny Banks.

518
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 4: Got a couple of things. One is I want to

519
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 4: say piss off to that guy in Florida that called

520
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 4: up and insulted you. I have to think you have

521
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: a very high baseball IQ and enjoy the commentary daily

522
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 4: that brings me to stin I don't know. Can't take

523
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 4: anything away from the guy who's absolutely terrific in the playoffs.

524
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 4: But on the other hand, it hurt him. It hurt

525
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 4: him bad. It's still not back and he didn't win.

526
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 4: So taking a look at what Rice is doing right

527
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 4: now today. If this keeps going, this kid could be

528
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 4: a generational talent. He could be the next seven hundred

529
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 4: million dollars free agent.

530
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: I don't know about that.

531
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 4: A long way to go and a lot to prove.

532
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 4: But right now, the numbers are incredible. He deserves the

533
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 4: right to keep going, all.

534
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 2: Right, So seven hundred million dollars consider this, Ben Rice,

535
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: I believe is twenty six years old. Let me just

536
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 2: double check. I believe Ben Rice might be older than

537
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 2: Juan Soto or it's very close. That's what got Sodo

538
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: paid seven hundred million because you can pay it for

539
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: a long time. Ben Rice is essentially a rookie. He's

540
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: not technically a rookie because he had one hundred and

541
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 2: seventy eight played appearances last year. And I'm gonna put

542
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: up his baseball savant page. But he is twenty six

543
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 2: years old and Wan Soto is twenty six as a

544
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: free agent. Ben Rice won't be a free agent un

545
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: till he's what thirty one, even if he has five

546
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: really good years right now, No way he gets seven

547
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: hundred million. Not even close. Although with the way salaries

548
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: are going, who knows. But he is absolutely torching the baseball.

549
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean everything pretty much to right field. But can't

550
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: complain about that if you play in Yankee Stadium. So

551
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: another good night for Ben Rice, ladies and gentlemen. One

552
00:28:51,680 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: more time Yankees win ball game over yik hit, those likes,

553
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: hit those subscribes, leave a comment, call into the voicemail.

554
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if we're gonna do a voicemail show tomorrow.

555
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try. We're gonna do several. We're gonna i

556
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: gotta do nine shows this week, so you know, obviously

557
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: there's games every single day, which means we're gonna have

558
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: to do a couple more voicemail shows. So uh, probably

559
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: either Wednesday, Thursday, something like that. But call in if

560
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: we get some good ones, maybe we'll do it tomorrow.

561
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: But be nice or I might be mean back. All right,
